• when to dispose of a car ? 3 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  However, he estimates that it will cost £200 or so to pass its MOT at the end of this month, as it needs a new wheel, two tyres, windscreen, a mirror, and a headlight dipper switch. No doubt the car is worth very little. It runs well but looks shabby. He doesn't have much cash to spare, having young children, but I wonder if it is worth keeping any longer.

  Hi guys At the Classic Car Show in Birmingham, which was fantastic as usual, I saw a few Interceptors which I adore. On the windscreen of one was a book open at a page with a picture which showed the last Series 3 (I think) leaving the production line.
• 96' zetec escort electical fault 10 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  Hi, my car is already part of another thread to do ith an idle problem, this one concerns an intermitten electrical problem. Apart from these two things the car is fine! This is the problem and it seems to be totally random: sometimes when i try to use the rear windscreen wiper it does not work (the washers do though), instead the fog light & rear screen heater lights come on, at the same time the boot release in the central console stops working too.

• BMW reliability 15 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Speaking to BMW service manager his view is that BMW electronics find life tough due to the heat and dust of the middle east, which is a fair point but are cars not made these day for all geographies? It seems to me that these cars are only made for the average environment and if you live and drive these cars in extreme heat or cold then you should expect more faults.

• Mercedes-Benz A-Class - Rear brake discs 26 Oct 2010 (Forum)
  At 3 years old with 15 thousand miles on the clock I would expect this car to pass the first MOT without major failure. My car failed due to badly corroded rear brake discs. This car had been serviced each year by the supplying dealership and is kept in a heated garage. Could it be the discs are not fit for purpose.

• All - Battery Jacket 4 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  Apologies if this has been asked before but cars today and from many years back all seem to have some type of insulation jacket on their 12v batteries under the bonnet. Why is this ? Is it to keep it warm, insulate it from the engine bay heat or a bit of both and just maintain it at a constant temp ?
